Keto Diet, Week 2 Results

This week I tried to be a little more strict and lowered my calories and protein, upped my fat and tried to lower my carbs from 35 to 30-35.

Goal was 120g of protein and fat and 30-35g of carbs all at 1700 calories.

Here's how I did.

Beginning of Diet Weight: 152.2

End of week 1 Weight: 149.6

Day 1/8:

117g of protein, 36g of net carbs, 107g of fat

Day 2/9:

107g of protein, 25g of net carbs, 112g of fat

Day 3/10:

130g of protein, 33g of net carbs, 117g of fat

Day 4/11:

118g of protein, 35g of net carbs, 119g of fat

Day 5/12:

124g of protein, 35g of net carbs, 99g of fat

Day 6/13:

122g of protein, 34g of net carbs, 102g of fat

Day 7/14:

111g of protein, 36g of carb, 90g of fat

Overall the carb cravings have completely subsided. Sometimes I want a little treat or snack, but I find reaching for cheese and almonds curbs the cravings without issue. I always read before if you're craving sweets, eat protein and it seems to be working for now.

Final weight: 150.6

YES, I did 'gain' a pound this week, but I'm still down 1.6 pounds in 2 weeks. At this point I know it's not all just water weight and I HAVE actually lost weight. Plus losing .5-1 lb a week is healthy, so I'm extremely happy with my weight loss thus far.

My friend who has completed her nutrition classes has me on a new 'diet' (more of a lifestyle change) and has seriously upped my protein and given me a few more carbs so I won't be posting about this anymore, but will update with pics/weight loss every couple months or so.
